islamic values and i mean by that islamic values and i would not necessarily i see it as islamic strict rulings for me sharia is a dynamic process and i think women need to be trained to one to stand. tradition and to to to to end the not pally of patriarchal. scholars all freight of the religious to still. so let's talk a bit about your perception of sharia and how that changed because you've said this sharia law islamic law isn't set in stone it's based on interpretation and is evolving all the time but for us looking at the state of women's rights in places which ways there are low on the sharia their position in society is and following at all it's not going anywhere is it even possible to maintain sharia and achievements a patient for women. yeah i hear you and this is exactly the case in post revolution there libya a lot of people are are saying that we want to implement the sharia law and by that they also see that is islamic law and they want to implement it so they see it as a set of laws and they want to. know all the five all the laws that we had from before that out of more

history of islam we had women leaders and actually the history of reform movements in islam was like the case of the one hubby. movement is it is a row for missed movement but it was puritanical and so. it should introduce misawa genus interpretations of islam so it's quite. the opposite in the history of christianity and judaism so what we need today is to revive and bring back the liberal voices that were there throughout the thirteenth centuries we had women scholars we had women sheriff's we had women fuck women leaders we need to revisit. history with the with the gender lens and we find all these things so i must. warn. us from using this a call of reformation of islam and because of what we wish for because of the history of reformation or reformists movements in islam were basically puritanical movements and they have introduced views. to the muslim world so we need to transform it to the other side the other way now there's recently been a scandal surrounding a veiled muslim woman who took part in a photo shoot for playboy and another woman is modeling for h. and m. in the j

they are opposed to bosnia's european form of islam. for example, the veneration of former clergymen at their graves. emir: they don't even explain to these people that it is a bad thing that those graves exist. but that wasn't the main reason we departed from them. apart from that were certain irregularities in the way the islamic community practices the faith, the way they don't actually do their job. reporter: in the impoverished neighborhood of kula, emir cajic's group is firmly established. the salafists don't even talk with the official islamic community. emir: once you draw a line, you draw borderlines, there aren't any disagreements. you know where you are and you know where the other person is. reporter: and yet, imam iseric in sarajevo says all of bosnia's muslims belong to one bosnian islamic community -- his. sadrudin: it's still under control. everything is under control. they are not any threat. reporter: in reality, hundreds of radicals are said to have left bosnia to join the fanatical i.s. fighters in syria. every eveni

>> in islam you have five pillars of islam. to be full muslim, you have to fulfill these five pillars. the fifth pillar in islam, the first pillar, for example, is to believe in god, there's no god but allah and muhammad is his prophet. and the last pillar of islam is performing hajj. this is why muslims go to mecca to have the full faith, to become full muslims, i would say. >> how long do you spend there? >> for hajj, it depends on how long you want in there but for the hajj days itself, you don't have to be there more than a week. but people like to spend more time in mecca. >> who paid for it? >> you pay for it,ern pays for himself. we believe that if you pray, so when we pray, god listens to our prayers but in mecca, each prayer you make it's worth 100,000. that's why it's very important for the muslims to go there. you can pray one year and if you go to mecca, you stay there one year, the deeds you get from mecca, being in mecca, praying at mecca, it's worth years of your lifetime. >> in your book, one thing -- i read you

but the fall of islamic state is within sight.he government of iraq on defeating islamic state in the city of mosul. but as celebrations continue, hopes and worries about what happens next are already forming. members of a 72—nation coalition are meeting in washington later to work out how a stable future can be secured. caroline davies reports. so—called islamic state appears to be on the back foot. in iraq, they've lost mosul. translation: our victory today is a victory against darkness, against brutality and against terrorism. in syria, us—backed forces are closing in on raqqa, but this is not the end of the battle. there are a number of isis fighters still left in iraq that'll have to be defeated before we've won the war. meetings are planned in washington this week to stop victories turning to defeat and chaos. so what happens next? even if is do lose the cities, it doesn't mean they're defeated. the group could go underground, which could create a new set of problems. one of the first questions diplomats will want to know is

there is no problem with islam but there is a big problem in islam right now which represents a small minority but a very dangerous minority. imam talking with a muslim and he said to a european crowd, islam is a religion of peace and jihad is doing this atrocity. you from the bottom my heart that you shared this important messages with us. why do you spend your valuable time on us? you should preach this every day to your believers, your people in the sudan, iraqi, afghanistan, telling those people beheading innocent civilians under the name of islam that what they do is against islamic concept. but ina favor to us order to defend what you believe. i think that's the message that needs to be given to the muslim community. states,in the united it's critically important that our cve efforts be as granular as possible and community let as possible. the communities need to work at likeost granular level librarians are schoolteachers or what have you. it's the strategy to build strong communities and protect the u.s. homeland. i will not lie to you, this is a bipartisan study so that was

nation of islam over to like a sunni muslim kind of part of islam and ali went with that. the reverend lewis barrett can three or four years later reinstituted the nation of islam when he broke with elijah mohammad's son so he became for lack of a better word and normal muslim for the rest of his life. which was what happened with malcolm x. it's when malcolm x got into trouble with the nation of islam because he had become a regular muslim. yes sir. >> howard cosell and ali always maintained their friendship. >> i think they were friends but i think it was a business relationship. i think they both got a lot out of it for me to their perspectives. howard afforded him a stage and he afforded howard a stage to work on. i think they were friendly but i don't think they went out to dinner a lot. a ali was walking out of one of his court dates with one of his lawyers and he said to a reporter, he said i don't have any white friends and he said your lawyer is a white man. is he your friend? he said he's my lawyer, he's not my friend. [laughter] they were friendly but you know t

i am against radical islam. one of the things that is in your book every time the prophet is mentioned are the initials p bu h, why do you do that every time you talk about the prophet muhammad? forl: it is sign of respect the profit when you mention him. if i mentioned the name of any it.it, we have to mention it is asking things from god for giving us and for leading humankind to faith and to god and to the truth. brian: what is the most important thing to you about being a muslim? manal: a lot of things. i think the piece you get being a muslim. the piece you got believing in god. peoplenteresting that have this misconception about islam that the idolater that -- that the ideology we have today is hate. it is a submission to god. muslim the first thing is, you say peace be with you. it is called for modules and called for good deeds. a lot of good things in any society that they want to have here. what we lost from islam is the preaching and the scholars are trivial things that made us lose the sense of islam

neither west is aware to fight islamic state and the islamic militants we have to fight them either asnk the opportunity is open and they hope the west will seize this chance to build the damaged areas and prove to the iraqis that the west is on their side, not only using them to defeat al-qaeda or isis. let's talk now to hanan razek from bbc arabic. thank you for being with us. this is an important day. high important? it isa an important day. high important? it is a massive boost for the iraqi forces and the prime minister, haider al—abadi, and also a massive boost in the fight against the so—called islamic state. mosul used to be the second—largest city in iraq. it was the biggest city they could capture in the country. now they are defeated in this city there will have two retreats to some rule, small areas and times. it means the victory against islamic state is imminent in the whole of the region, not just imminent in the whole of the region, notjust in iraq. i suppose it is ha rd to notjust in iraq. i suppose it is hard to think of many advantages of them in control of mosul, bu

the two pics of this is one of the issue that islam, but there's no one islam. as you know there's islam of -- [inaudible] so just like christianity, i'm coming from utah, even in the utah, the more mature just 20 different versions. so given the islam, the history, the context of thousands of different interpretation, so the gulen movement also very much shaped by certain tradition of islam. because they are in the tradition issues needs to be examined as one. now, when we look at what happened in 1970, and actually the issue started in 2011 between our party and the gulen movement. because of the gulen movement come after the constitutional referendum in 2010, the gulenists were really mobilized and they got what they wanted in terms of the hegemony by training the constitution. they became a dominant force in the judiciary. and they come to the conclusion that now we control the turkey so we can get erdogan to do whatever we want. in 2011 election they wanted 100 seats in the parliament, and erdogan said no. i think that was the beginning of the struggle. the

what does a city do when islamic state is gone?nd extreme violence has been driven out? islamic state showed off a modest version of this funfair two yea rs modest version of this funfair two years ago. it is no longer a place of the gander. a year after the militants left, the people of this troubled city are back, just beginning to unwind. but the scars are everywhere. this nine—year—old was caught in an explosion three yea rs was caught in an explosion three years ago. he lost a leg and is still suffering. his grandmother worries about his hand. yes, we can say that islamic state is finished, but we are still afraid. for myself, i always feel fear inside me. this morning, there was an explosion. i lost it. when i came to, i was on the couch, shaking. falluja has barely known a day of peace in 1a yea rs. barely known a day of peace in 1a years. the americans fought bitter battles here. when they left, the government in baghdad stood sectarian divisions and islamic state took advantage. when the government finally regained control

and for the consequences that followed islamic states didn't appear from nowhere islamic state resembles the taliban which was formed by the american administration to oppose the soviet authorities during the war in afghanistan just across the syrian border i sill is also on its way to defeat as a battlefield force with russia backing the assad government salmi against the rate of terrorist groups a russian presence in syria has been routinely criticized by many western powers maliki though sees russia's involvement in a very different light. without the russian stance the whole region would have crumbled the map would have looked totally different without russia's approach to the syrian problem which differs from america's syria regime would have followed that would have energized the terrorists led to a change map of the region and it would have led to baghdad's fall. i was arsal seemingly on its last legs all eyes are on what's next for iraq and despite a string of military victories for government forces the battle for a united country is far from over well if the split between the s

what about saif al—islam gaddafi?at have they said? saif al—islam gaddafi is one of those that we have already, that has been indicted by the icc on the request of the prosecutor, and there have been difficulties of getting into the icc. he's at large but in hiding. yes, we have received information recently that he has been released, and i have made a statement requesting for saif al—islam gaddafi to be surrendered to the icc. i have also recently met and i'm making various efforts, including meeting with the prime minister of libya, prime minister sarraj, to request for cooperation and to ask that saif al—islam gaddafi be surrendered to the court to face justice. what promises did he make about saif al—islam gaddafi? when might he had him over? he has to be apprehended, because he's not in the custody of the libyan government at the moment, at least the recognised government. what prime minister sarraj has promised is that there will be cooperation, a very good level of cooperation on the libya situation generally,

the recapture of mosul will not mark the end of the war against islamic state. elsewhere in iraq and syria. in the last couple of hours, the us military says coalition forces in syria have breached the wall surrounding the old city of raqqa as they move in to re—take the city from the islamic state group. the strike on the rafiqah wall occurred after fighters reclaimed parts of the city that the terrorist group had seized late last week. is seized raqqa in early 2014 and established its headquarters there, but most of the city has now been liberated. rachel is here with all the business news. it's the fourth ofjuly and while americans will be taking the day off to mark independence day, the republicans and democrats will have differing views on whether the state of the country's economy gives cause for celebration. the self—styled ceo president wants america to grow by 3% a year — a level not seen for over a decade. with growth currently atjust1.6%, how exactly does he plan on doing it? central to his plan is the renegotiation of us trade deals. the trump admini
